UPDATED BELOW!!!!!! With all the hubbub surrounding Roy Halladay I thought I’d chime in (again) on trading for him. As of right now the Crew is 2.5 games out of first place in the Central and 2.5 pitchers out of a halfway decent starting rotation. Getting Halladay would be pretty much exactly the same as [...]
Over the offseason I spoke briefly about Jorge Julio shortly after he signed with the Brewers for a one-year, $750k deal. I said that I approved of the deal, as the price was right and the Brewers were probably going to be smart enough to use him in non-leverage situations since he’s made an entire [...]
Some thoughts after a totally acceptable 1-2 home series against the Cardinals… The Brewers have been linked to trading for Jake Peavy to compliment the starting rotation and become this year’s C.C. Sabathia. Actually these articles don’t explicitly mention the Brewers having any interest in Peavy, but simply that people assume the Brewers are frontrunners [...]
The St. Louis Cardinals have lost to the Milwaukee Brewers four out of four times so far this season, and going back to season the Brew Crew have beaten them up to the tune of a 9-1 record in their last ten meetings. Milwaukee’s kind of treated them recently as if they were the Pirates, [...]
The Brewers signed Frank Catalanotto to a minor league deal on Tuesday, causing Tom H. to think that one of the Brewer bench outfielders like Brad Nelson or Chris Duffy will be replaced due to their ineptitude hitting so far. GM Doug Melvin and manager Ken Macha don’t seem to agree, basically saying the equivalent [...]
The Brewers managed yet another 1-2 series loss this weekend in the new Pitchers’ Heaven Field, salvaging a two-run win yesterday after suffering a couple of bad 1-run losses on Friday and Saturday. The Crew’s luck remains a little bit slim to start this season, already going 1-4 in one-run games and a pythagorean record [...]
Sorry for no activity– daily life, prepping for school, running a bunch of errands, and generally being hectic contribute to my lack of posting. While there’s been no real posting lately, I can say that I’ve virtually finished my 2009 pitching preview and will post it first thing Monday morning. A few newsworthy things:
Cash called. Cameron’s sticking with the Brewers. I still don’t like the move, although it’s not too heartbreaking. Cam will net another couple of draft picks once 09 is over.
Naturally, the biggest news of the day is still… the Brewers might grab Kei Igawa from the Yankees in the well-publicized Mike Cameron-for-Melky Cabrera deal that makes it seem like the Brewers are getting bullied around. Cabrera had a terrible year last year for the Yankees, batting a mere .249/.301/.341/.641. Marcel projections put him at [...]
